NASA detects first “magnetic switchback” near Earth: an energetic change in your space shield that reveals new solar risks.

Traditionally, scientists believed that the charge polarity of the magnetosphere at the equator and the poles was the same, ...

A recent sudy has found that prolonged exposure to magnetic fields is linked to childhood leukemia. Examples of sources of magnetic electromagnetic fields include high voltage power lines, electric ...

Scientists have developed a way to produce models of where the magnetic field lines are several times each day. Here we have created a time-lapse version of these models over four days (2-3 each day) ...

Multiple lines of evidence suggest that pigeons sense magnetic fields by detecting electric currents in their inner ears.

Geologists discovered ancient rocks in Greenland that preserve the oldest known traces of Earth’s early magnetic field.

A giant dent in Earth's magnetic field is continuing to expand, according to the latest data from a trio of satellites monitoring our world. It's called the South Atlantic Anomaly, stretching across ...

The average Hackaday reader likely knows, at least in the academic sense, what a magnetic field looks like. But as the gelatinous orbs in our skull can perceive only a tiny fraction of the EM spectrum ...
